found it at the head of Owen's River, in the Sierra Nevada, up to 2100 metres (7000 feet) 

 altitude. It was common in Kern Valley, July 3-13, and in Walker Basin, July 13-16. 

 At the latter place a number of nests were found fastened against the ce ilin gs and walls 

 of the rooms in several of the deserted buildings. Dr. Merriam found it breeding 

 commonly at Kernville, under the eaves and piazzas of houses, June 23, and in the 

 Canada de las Uvas, under the eaves of Old Eort Tejon, June 28-29. 



" At Twin Oaks, in Western San Diego County, he was shown a large sycamore, on the 

 outside of which these Swallows used to fasten their nests, and was told that after heavy 

 rains the nests were frequently washed down in great numbers. This species was 

 common at Bakersfield, in the San Joaquin Valley, July 17-20 ; and Mr. Stephens 

 found it not uncommon at Reche Caiion, near San Bernardino, September 22-24." 



In his paper on the birds of Gray's Harbour, Washington Territory, Mr. Lawrence 

 says that he found the species nesting at the mouth of Lewis River, Clarke County, but 

 never on the coast or Sound.

Mr. W. E. D. Scott met with this species at Garden Key on the Dry Tortugas, off 

 the coast of Florida, on the 22nd and 25th of March. Prom Jamaica the same 

 naturalist writes as follows : — " An abundant resident species, especially near the 

 coast., and not so common in the interior of the island. The caves in the faces of the 

 cliffs along the shore were favourite roosting- and resting-places for this species, and 

 probably the birds bred here later in the year. Hundreds could be seen about sunset 

 retiring to these caves at Priestman's River."
